The second tier lender announced yesterday that it would offer a 0.10 per cent discount on the loans included in its SmartPack offering – the Mortgage Simplifier and Smart Home Loan.
The discount, which lasts for the life of the loan, is accompanied by an additional reduction on the SmartPack fee.
ING DIRECT head of mortgage products Ray Esho said the bank had developed the new offering in a bid to increase competition in the industry.
